A bill for an act to provide for constituency and other special projects in the annual budget of the Federation has failed to pass the second reading in the Senate.
The bill which seemed to have received popular support among the senators could not sail through.
After over an hour of heated debates for and against, the passage of the bill was thrown to voice votes.
Those for the bill shouted ‘ay’ loudly, while those against echoed ‘Nay’ overwhelmingly.
“The Nay has it”, Senate President, Godswill Akpabio declared.
